Of that Eternal Breath begotten and brought forth not of flesh & blood, nor of the will of man, but by the Father of spirits, which according to his own will worketh to will & to do of his good pleasure, when, or in whom he pleaseth  
AM I moved to warn you the Parishioners of Ashted, & all others as opportunity is given? who as you in the darkness are, and know not what you are doing, nor whether you are going, who from the light are, out of the Covenant, and so not taught of God, but are always learning as silly Women, but never come to the knowledge of the truth, that he who is righteous in all his Judgements, and faithful in all his promises, who was dead, but is alive, is risen in great power, and is dreadful to all his enemies, rendringvengeance on all that know him not, and yet wills that all men would repent and live; so loving the world, that he hath given his only begotten a light into the world, that whoso comes to him shall not abide in darkness; And this is the common salvation which was and is declared by all sent of him▪ who is no respecter of persons, but will be worshipped in truth and in spirit; and for such worshippers doth he now seek every where, all other Worship being an abomination, Who hath required them at their hands, saith the Lord? who in his Son only is well pleased; and though in the day of darkness God winked, yet now having visited from on high with his dayspring, (you that sit in darkness and in the Regions of death) requires all to return from the darkness to the light with which you are enlightened, which convinces of sin, and condemns the evil doer, that by his Judgements the soul may be redeemed.  
And this is no new invented Fable, or error, as your Hireling teachers tell you, who are talking of a Gospel, and are found fighters against the true and everlasting Gospel, which Moses and the Apostles were witnesses of, which is, nigh, and not far off, the gift of God freely, not sold or bought for money, as those deceivers would make you believe, who are upholding the first Priesthood by taking tithes, and so deny Christ come in the flesh, as Pope, Prellate, & Priest, though in words confessing, yet in works deny him that come to put an end to the first, that he might consecrate to himself a new and a living way, which way in the light is seen and learned, and the Scriptures declare of it; say not who shall ascend on high and fetch him down, or go down into the depths and fetch him up, for he is near thee in thy heart, and in thy mouth, and this is the Gospel Paul taught who was called of God and not of men, and sent to turn people from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, and I of grace being made a witness of the same Gospel, and an heir of the same Covenant, as moved of God, call on you to come thereto; that in the light you may behold the way of the just, for the wicked are posting to destruction, and being in the darkness know not where you are, nor whether you go, and that you are there in your worships and meetings, hath been confessed to by your teacher, whom when I met coming to visit William Burcheds wife would have passed by me, but I calling to him to hear me, he hasted away as formerly, and with anger asked me, Why I sat all that while in darkness, (meaning while I sat and heard him in his Pulpit?) says he, Thou heardest darkness, why didst not thou speak afore, but sat in darkness all that while thou heardest me? so people, if as by his own confession I sat in darkness, and heard darkness, who heard him but an hour on that day, what do you that hear him weekly and think you serve God in it? truly they that harken to darkness hearken to the devil who is the Prince of darkness, and they that sit in darkness si● in the kingdom of the Devil, who rules in darkness, and I confess I did hear darkness there, and the fruits of darkness, were manifest, and I in the light saw the darkness, and had power to witness against the Doctrine of darkness, and in the same power should have proved it to be a Doctrine of darkness by plain Scriptures, had he not fled when fear surprised him, as it will do all that are in darkness.  
And so teacher and people, who teach and hear in darkness; of the Lord who is light are you warned once more, and while you have time prise it, to turn from the darkness, and to the light attend, which condemns the darkness and leads out of it, and by it only is the knowledge of God gained, and by it only is power obtained over death, and over him that hath the power of death, the devil, for Christ the light was and is manifest to destroy the wor●s of the devil, the works of darkness, and this must you know, obey, and believe in, which convinces of sin and calls out of the world's ways and worships, which are in the darkness, ere the promise you can obtain, which makes partakers of the divine nature, and in Christ Jesus is the yea and Amen; which all who in the darkness are, are resisting and striving against, for he is light, yea the true light which enlightens every man that comes into the world, and by this only can man and woman fallen from God come to see what they were, where they are, and whether they are going, and by this which is the truth in the inward parts, only can man and woman be freed, from the bonds of darkness, and by the light only must the powers of darkness be brought under and consumed, for there is no other name for salvation but the light and truth, Christ Jesus whose first appearance is to destroy sin in the flesh.  
Mind it people, hath not the grace of God appeared to you all? doth it not yet strive with many of you, showing your unrighteousness and calling out of it? verily this is it that hath and doth teach the children of light, to deny all ungodliness and worldy lusts, and to walk soberly, righteously, and godyl in this present world, & that of this you might be taught & led by it out of the snares of the Devil, hath the Lord sent his servants to call you out of darkness, and to bear witness against all that deceive your souls by false Doctrines, and feigned speeches, which have run and God never sent them, therefore they profit you not, who make Merchandise of your souls, who sell the Scriptures for money; these are they of whom the Scripture speaks, that feed upon the sheep but feed not the sheep; they send for their gain from their quarter, and if they have it not, they raise war against you; is it not so? An horrible thing is committed in the Land, the Priests preach for hire, and the people love to have it so; but what will you do in the latter end? Confess people, is it not so with you and your Teacher? And the Lord is my witness whom I serve in the spirit, that I have not envy, hatred or Wrath towards any man, Teacher, or Hearer, but in the meek spirit and fear of the living God, have spoke and writ in good will unto all, being there to called of him who warns all, and is calling and gathering his own out of Babylon, where the many Languages and Opinions are See people, Is it not your Teachers that are in the confusion, drawing the people after them; some crying for Prelacy, others for Presbytery, others for Independency, & others for Baptism; with several other opinions, as visibly appears to all? & in this day is light arisen, which whoso have received it, see that the Whore hath made drunk both Powers and People with her abominations, that they reel to and fro, and many must fall and sleep, and never awake again; for the time of her righteous Judgement is come, who hath long deceived Nations and people, and into the pit with the Beast that carries her, must she be turned to be tormented for evermore.  
And blessed are they that understand these things, and come out from her, that they be not plagued with her whose destruction is sudden and sure, and she knows it not.  
And people, I having nothing else in my eye but the exaltation of that Name (unto which every Knee must bow) & the salvation of your souls, cannot but use much plainess, as ne who was long in the dark as you are, and thought I did God service in running after men to teach me, and in taking the Scriptures for my rule, and read them daily, but erred, not knowing them as all you do who to the light are not come; for the Scriptures are of no private interpretation, but were written by holy men as they were moved by the holy Ghost, and are only revealed and interpreted by the same spirit; and the unlearned which are not taught by this spirit, pervert them to their own destruction, as they did which read them daily, and yet put Christ to death of whom the Scriptures witnessed. And truly, he that is the Rule and the Way of Eternal Life, is this day slain by the Readers and Professors of the Scriptures, spiritually, in the street of the great City, spiritually called Egypt, as sure as he was crucified at Jerusalem, and though many who are doing it, know it not no more than they did who if they had known, would not have put to death the Lord of Life: Yet both they had, and you have the Visitation of the Li●ht to lead out of the darkness; & this is the Rule by which you must walk if ever you come to the way of life, for there is no other Name whereby any can be saved, but by Christ Jesus the Light of the World; and this is the true light that enlightens every one that comes into the world: So our God, who is the living God, and is no respecter of persons, shall be righteous when he comes to Judgement, who hath given to every one of you a gift to profit withal; and as to this you are faithful which reproves all evil of thought, word or deed, the eye shall be opened, and the Veil rend, and he known who opens the Scriptures, and gives the knowledge of God, who dwells in the light, & disobedience to this hath filled the World and all minds with darkness and error; but God will recover his own Inheritance out of the hands of the Destroyer in this the day of his Power, which shall bring down all the Powers of darkness, which yet are upheld by the strong Works of darkness, persecuting & lying, either putting in prison, stocking whipping or bearing those which are sent to show them their darkness and nakedness, and to call them to repentance; or by false accusing and lying against the Truth and Witnesses thereof in their Pulpits and elsewhere, as that we deny Christ that died at Jerusalem, and the Scriptures, and Magistrates, and Laws, and Ministers, and Relations, which comes all from the Liar their Father, which begets and brings forth lies; for though the children of the Light deny and witness against all the evils of these which in the vain imaginations of man hath been invented and brought in; yet all these things as the Truth is in Jesus, we confess to and witness for, against all them that are departed from the truth thereof; and to all these particulars there are Answers in pring by several of the servants of the Lord, that their lie may be manifest who are accusing of the Brethren, and speaking evil of things they know not; but the Work of the Lord shall prosper, and the Wheat shall be gathered into the Ga●ner, and the Chaff shall be burned with the unquenchable fire; for the day of the Lord shall burn as an Oven, and the Wicked shall be as stubble therein. And the signs of his coming are seen, who as a Thief in the night will come upon all those who to the Light are not turned, and his reward is with him.  
Therefore great and small, high and low, fear before the living-God, and come to know the true and faithful witness of God which was with him in the beginning of the Creation; and we that believe have the Witness in ourselves; and without you fell and obey that which condemns all unrighteousness, earthly mindedness, and shows your darkness, you shall never find cleansing, and in sin none are justified; for our God (beside him there is no God) is of purer eyes then to behold iniquity.  
So all you to whom this comes, slight not the day of your visitation, for it will soon pass over your heads; let not the love of this World nor ease and pleasures, keep your souls in death; nor fear of men which can only kill your bodies which must return to dust, but mind that which is given to redeem your souls out of the bonds of death by, breaking the Serpent's head, which hath and doth captivate in Chains of darkness, & by the Seed only that must be destroyed, which is very small among you; yet for it, and to it is the proclamation of the everlasting Gospel.  
Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his righteous Judgement is come, and from heaven he is revealed in flames of fire, to take vengeance on them that know him not; and in love to all your souls hereof are you warned by me who am a Witness of the new Covenant in the heart, written in the inner parts, taught of God, knowing the pouring forth of his spirit upon sons and upon daughters, & in it prophesy of the things which shall shortly come to pass; and as freely I have received, so I give forth, calling you to be partakers of the same grace, setting before you all this day, life and death, choose you whether; if you love your iniquities pleasures and profits of the world, betraying the just for them, then with the world must you to destruction; but if to the light you come, and by it be subjected, him shall you receive who is not of this World, and by him be led into the inheritance which is undefiled, and fadeth not away; pure is this inheritance, and so must all they be that inherit it; and that you may be blessed by that which leads out of the curse, love and follow that which condemns all injustice, deceit, vain, wanton and unprofitable words & actions, and leads to justice, righteousness and so berness And then shall you know, that God in love to all your souls hath sent this visitation, though by one of them whom the scornful world calls Quakers, known by the Name of  
REBECKA TRAVERS.  
THE END.
